Hello. I am inquiring about the update of today (3/17/2017). The notification window went away before I could read it. Is this update to replace the Arch mirror list in the config.d file?

Here’s a screen shot of the Antergos System Message as displayed on my system for your reference (Gnome 3.22.2, kernel 4.10.2):

The “For more information” link is to a wiki page, which explains what the package does (checks to see in what order Antergos repos are listed relative to Arch repos), and how to replace /etc/pacman.conf. (I tried including the link here, but my post gets rejected as spam–too new as a member?)

And that page has a link to an announcement from 12 Jun 2016, where (if I understand correctly) Dustin explains that the purpose of antergos-repo-priority is to temporarily position Antergos repos above Arch repos to enable properly updating MATE and Cinnamon packages that were at that time newly hosted by Antergos. (Again, sorry, but links seem to be prohibited for me.)

What’s confusing to me is that, at least on my system, the /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew file created today by the updated antergos-repo-priority package doesn’t contain any Antergos repo. The /etc/pacman.conf contains two Antergos repo entries (“antergos-staging,” which is commented out, and “antergos,” which is active).

@lots.0.logs , thanks for your help and for all you’re doing with Antergos.

Some further info:

When I updated today (18 Mar 2017), antergos-repo-priority updated from ver 1.0.5-1 to 1.0.6-2:
However, no change to either /etc/pacman.conf or /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew for my system after these updates were processed.

I’m embarrassed to say that yesterday I didn’t think to check the date modified for these files–I did today, and it would appear that neither has been modified since 8-Mar:
IIRC, that matches the date I re-installed Antergos on this computer/drive, so no change since the installer created these.

So, is the antergos-repo-priority package doing what it’s supposed to do (at least for my system, which is evidently not making any changes, perhaps because I’m running Gnome rather than MATE or Cinnamon) and there’s nothing to be worried or confused about?

The antergos-repo-priority utility was made for users, who weren’t confident with modifying pacman.conf by hand and move Antergos repos above Arch repos. The utility does it automatically.

AFAIK, the utility still does nothing more - only moves Antergos repos above Arch repos.

In Antergoses, installed after summer 2016, the repos should be already in correct order - Antergos above Arch.

Repos priority should not affect Plasma, Xfce, Openbox, Gnome users. For now, Antergos has no specific pkgs for these DEs, so repos order doesn’t matter that much in this case. But it’s better to have the repos in official Antergos order.

If Antergos repos are above Arch on your system, there’s no need to do anything. If they are still below Arch, then simply move them hand on top of the repos list.

Again, it’s only a personal experience. Antergos devs may disagree with it.
